student/project assistants to help us with various projects from mid-August to the end of the
year. You will be working closely with us scientists and be involved in ongoing
research projects, including to handle data from entirely new Earth observation
satellites.
Job description
You will support a scientist in the handling and analysis of Earth observation data.
One position aims to get us started with two new satellite missions, EarthCARE
and the Arctic Weather Satellite. The primary responsibilities are to automatise the

machine learning-based retrievals (i.e., extracting geophysical data from
observations).
A possible second position has the aim to download radar images from the satellite Sentinel-1
and the Radarsat constellation mission and compare the satellite images with sea ice
information collected during an expedition in the Gulf of Bothnia with the research
vessel Skagerak. During the expedition, acoustic data were collected with an
autonomous underwater vehicle and aerial photos were taken with a drone. If
successful, data from an Arctic expedition with the Swedish icebreaker Oden can also
be included.
Contract terms
The positions are temporary, with August 19 as a tentative start date. Both student (part-time) and
project (full-time) positions can be considered (decided after discussion with the applicant),
until maximum of December 31.
Qualifications
A bachelor's degree in the areas of physics or engineering.
We will put particular emphasis on:
• Strong programming skills and knowledge of Python
• An interest in geophysics or physics in general.
Meritorious
A finalised master 's degree. Good grades in relevant courses. Proven practical skills in
programming (such as a project in GitHub, or by some course project).
